Walmart isn't just the place homebodies go when they're looking for groceries at a reasonable price. It's also a place to find pieces like the SinCiDo Arched Kitchen Pantry Storage Cabinet. This piece is affordable at just under $200, elegantly designed, and multifunctional — making it a viable option for living room decor as well.

Despite being earmarked for the SinCiDo Farmhouse Kitchen line, this pantry cabinet has a handful of features that would allow it to work with your living room decor. First up is its classic visual style. It's made of engineered wood and features a domed-top construction. This makes for great optics, due to the juxtaposition between the cabinet's top and its rectangular sides. 

Additionally, the doors in the front of the piece boast a glass inlay. For collectors of things, this feature allows for what celeb designer Joanna Gaines calls "micro-moments": groupings of three books here and there, bespoke sculptures or family photos, and quirky items like antique clocks. Each decorative grouping on the shelves can be easily seen without opening the doors. On a more practical level, when you're searching for stuff in your cupboard, you don't need to open the double doors to find most things, thanks to the glass-front doors. As for the piece's three shelves, they're adjustable. And, depending on your storage and organization needs, shelves can be removed, thanks to this structural element.

Fitting the SinCiDo piece into your decor is pretty straightforward from a color perspective. The cabinet comes in dark gray, brown, nature, and white (though do note that prices may vary). It measures 71 inches by 31 inches by 16.34 inches and doesn't come assembled. However, it takes less than an afternoon to complete, particularly if you're working with another person on the task. 

The SinCiDo kitchen pantry sits on a solid base made of four legs. Because of its steadfastness, it's a logical piece to use as a de facto room divider if you live in an open space, like a studio. For example, the shelves and two drawers could face the living room, giving you a place to stash board games, bottles of red wine (and the necessary glasses), and extra dishes. On the backside, calendars, a cute DIY mail organizer, and recipe cards can be attached thanks to a little help from some self-adhesive hooks.

Finally, because the cabinet is in the farmhouse style, it goes well with other furniture of a similar design. For example, all-in-one items like the IFGET Tilt-Out Trash Can Cabinet or a pair of VASAGLE Farmhouse Nightstands with Charging Station, used in tandem with the piece, allow you to maximize your living room's storage space easily. Pairing the cabinet with other items, particularly those of a shorter stature, adds to the storage areas of the room. More importantly, the differing heights give the space more visual interest as well.
